The Dead Are Calling… Collect
Remember the Call of the Dead level for Call of Duty: Black Ops’ new Escalation expansion? You know, the one where you play Machete, Buffy, Freddy and Merle from The Walking Dead — er, Danny Trejo, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Robert Englund and Michael Rooker? Well, the full intro for the game is above, and it is glorious, and not just because zombies carry off director George Romero (although I like the idea that zombies won’t eat Romero because they would rather use his cinematic skills for propaganda purposes). Enjoy.
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
